I wonder how watergate would’ve turned out if there had been an internet back then.

Most of what we “know” about watergate is fake news. And although Nixon may have known - maybe even ordered the break in - he was only doing the same dirty tricks the Democrats and communists have been pulling for decades - let alone all of the suicides from people that could point their finger at the clintons.

Nixon was fighting the swamp before most of us even realized there was a swamp.

It was actually arranged by Dean. The true purpose of the break in ( unbeknowngst to the participants - Liddy found out about this years ago and actually sued Dean over it, don't know how the suit turned out ) was to retrieve a "blackbook" of hookers that the DNC used for when bigwigs came to town. It turns out Deans wife ( or soon to be wife ) was listed in the book ( along with compromising photos ). Dean wanted that book ( and photos ) destroyed. The "bugging" was only cover to get the book. This is explained in detail in the book Silent Coup: The Removal of a President by Len Colodny

Nixon was set up, from inside the administration.

It was quite the operation - keep in mind, he had won re-election in ‘72 against McGovern in a MASSIVE landslide, something like 509 Electoral votes. He was gone just a year or two later. Nixon wasn’t exactly Mr. Conservative either. Just staunch anti-communist. They never forgave him foe that.

Republicans never made much sense to me. By that I mean some of the people they hire as “strategists” or “campaign advisors”. Remember that chick who worked for Sarah Palin, in the McCain run? She was the one that set her up with an ambush TV interview with whatever her name was. With friends like that ...
